This group more and more begins to look like a class of little children, trying to show what they all know, or a group of grumpy old men, trying to show what they all did and knew in the past. And that is different from trolling, it is worse. I also asked on several occasions to keep topics on topic or otherwise change the topic, but it seems impossible.
